About The Nolon Stacey Gallery
Nolon Stacey is a self-taught pencil artist specialising in drawings of British wildlife, rural scenery, and farm animals.
The Nolon Stacey Gallery Description
Nolon Stacey is a self-taught pencil artist specialising in drawings of British wildlife, rural scenery, and farm animals. Having never had any formal art training, Nolon acquired the methods he uses through years of trial and error. Each drawing can take anywhere from 50 to 100 hours to complete.
Whilst growing up in South Yorkshire, Nolon began drawing as a child and continued his passion throughout schooling. He took a different turn, gaining a degree in Mathematics from The University of Warwick, but soon returned to his passion of drawing and began specialising in portraits of people and animals.
Despite drawing all his life, Nolon has spent the last 10 years developing the skills to be able to present to people his unique style. His approach is to achieve detailed realism while giving life to his subjects. Without the use of colour, working solely with a pencil forces you to concentrate on the tone, the texture and the contrast of a piece, making it a deceptively complicated discipline.
In 2007, Nolon released his first book 'Drawing Made Easy: Dogs and Puppies' through Walter Foster Publishing, and has since released three drawing tutorial books, including 'The Art of Drawing Animals', a collaborative collector's book with artists from the UK, USA and Australia.
Nolon currently lives in the Yorkshire Dales and gains inspiration from the picturesque surroundings and varied wildlife. Working as a full-time pencil artist, Nolon self-publishes and sells prints internationally of his British wildlife collection, rural themed work and extensive dog breed range. Nolon exhibits throughout North Yorkshire, attending many country shows, and has exhibited at many prestigious exhibitions in the area.

Finally got back to some drawing. Didn’t get much done though.

Not a bad sunrise
Still can’t complain about a day like this - especially when the roads are clear!

It may be a bit chilly, but can’t complain about a day like this!

Quick preliminary sketch ahead of the weekend’s drawing. Thought I’d get back to some sheep.

‘Seascape III’ charcoal on canvas from 2 years ago - I recently realised I never got around to framing this up! Better get on that!

I only have these few originals hanging in the gallery, so it’s time to get back to drawing! I’m thinking a sheep next.

If anyone is looking for the last available print of this ‘Wise Eyed Hare’, you had better be quick!
Another old one from 8 years ago. If I remember correctly, the original of this sold at Priory Cottages & Wedding Venue first ever art exhibition back in 2011!
A very old print I’d almost forgotten about until someone ordered a copy recently. ‘Old Stile By The Ure’ graphite pencil.

The packaging process for frames: Frame gets corner protectors, then bubble wrapped, goes into a made to order perfectly fitted box, box gets large-bubble bubble wrapped, and finally goes into the second made to order double corrugated box. If anyone has a better solution to ensure the glass is still in tact at the other end, by all means, let me know!! #packaging #pictureframes #nolonstaceygallery @ The Nolon Stacey Gallery
